definitions.cnd files syntax highlighting, code completion, and other amazing stuff.

You can also rate it on the JetBrains Plugins Repository.

Tested under IntelliJ IDEA from 14.1.4 to 2022.3.2

IntelliJ plugins dependencies (optional): JavaEE, JSP, Properties. Requires Java 17 or higher (Java 8 before v2.2.0).

Jahia project versions: 6.6.x, 7.x, and 8.x.

• Syntax highlighting
• Syntax checking and error highlighting
• Code completion
• Code formatting
• Find usages (ctrl-click/cmd-click) - for namespaces, nodetypes and nodetypes properties declarations (not getting namespaces and nodetypes usages in .properties files for the moment though)
• Go to declaration (ctrl-click/cmd-click) - for namespaces and nodetypes usages throughout the file
• Refactoring
  • Rename (shift+f6) - for namespaces, nodetypes and nodetypes properties declarations (not renaming namespaces and nodetypes usages in .properties files for the moment though)
• File icon
• Line markers for namespaces and nodetypes / mixins
• Code folding - for namespaces and nodetypes
• Brace matching - closing brackets and parenthesis are automatically inserted where authorized by the syntax
• Commenter (ctrl+/) - to comment lines of code

• CND files features:

  • Helpers/Quickfixes (alt+enter on nodetype name)
    • Create nodetype and nodetype properties translations - only appears if no translation is found
    • Create new view - opens a popup that lets you choose the new view parameters, creates view and cache properties files, and also creates the folders if they don't already exist. If the view is a JSP, the new view also contains code to access all the node properties and sub nodes.
  • Nodetype folders icon in Project View ( or if mixin)
  • View files grouping (creates a virtual folder - or if hidden view - in the Project View)
  • Completion and other features on Jahia nodetypes (embedded Jahia base and main modules .cnd files) - a local library called 'jahia-plugin-base-cnd-files' is automatically added to the module dependencies if the module contains at least one cnd file (in case you have deleted this dependency, no panic, it comes back after re-opening the project)

• Other files/languages features:

  • JSP
    • Nodetypes usages highlighting & line markers /
    • Nodetypes completion
    • Go to nodetype declaration (ctrl-click/cmd-click)
    • Unknown nodetype error highlighting
    • Create nodetype quickfix (alt+enter on nodetype name) - if known namespace but unknown nodetype
    • <template:module/> line marker, 'view' attribute completion and reference (both are affected by 'templateType' attribute if provided)
    • <template:include/> line marker, 'view' attribute completion and reference (both are affected by 'templateType' attribute if provided)
    • Properties and property type completion in ${currentNode.properties.propertyName}, ${currentNode.properties['propertyName']} and <jcr:nodeProperty/>
    • <template:addResources/> line marker, completion and reference
  • Java
    • Nodetypes usages highlighting & line markers /
    • Nodetypes completion
    • Go to nodetype declaration (ctrl-click/cmd-click)

  • Properties (resource bundles)
    • Translations keys syntax highlighting & line markers for namespaces , nodetypes / and properties
    • Translations keys nodetypes and properties completion
    • Go to namespace, nodetype or property declaration from translations keys (ctrl-click/cmd-click)
    • Error message if adding translations for a choicelist on a non-choicelist property

• IntelliJ

  • Jahia Tool Window

• Improved cache .properties support:
  • Resource bundles .properties extension, to be able to find namespaces and nodetypes usages in it
  • View cache .properties custom language
